Reality: Twitter Lists organize Twitter conversations into user-friendly categories. Myth #3: Twitter is Disorganized and Hard to Use I spread out my daily 10-20 minutes to check Twitter at 2 or 3 different times. You can Twitter in as little as 10 to 20 minutes per day. Reality: Using Twitter takes only the amount of time you let it. Myth #2: Using Twitter Takes Up Too Much Time The best you can do is check in periodically and add your two cents. You cannot keep up with every conversation. Reality: Twitter is an information blitz. Myth #1: You have to Follow and Keep Up with Every Twitter Conversation For three hours, Lauren MacLeod ( walked me and other writers through Twitter and dispelled the misconceptions we had formed about using it
#JANETTER TWITTER ACCOUNT HOW TO#
Recently, I attended a workshop on how to Twitter.
The source of my frustration: I did not really understand how to use Twitter. However within a few days of creating my account, I became overwhelmed by the sheer amount of information on Twitter and within a few weeks I stopped using it. I loved the idea of using Twitter to meet and converse with other historians. I began using Twitter about eighteen months ago after I heard other historians talk about how they used it at the AHA 2012 THATCamp. The third post will discuss how you can get started with Twitter. The second will open a discussion on why historians (especially independent historians) should use Twitter. This first post will focus on myths and realities about how to use Twitter. It is an important tool to master and one I misunderstood until recently. Twitter is a powerful social networking tool that allows users to spread information quickly and widely in succinct, 140 character conversations. How to Twitter Part 1 is the first of a three post series on how I understand and use Twitter.
